Memorial Day is one of my favorite times of year! In my mind, it’s the official kick-off to Summer and grilling season. It’s filled with way too much food, hanging outside, maybe a sunburn, a few drinks, and so much fun! What’s better than that? 🙂
Since Memorial Day is only a week away, I thought I’d gather up The Best Memorial Day Recipes from my blog and other food blogs around the web!
Enjoy!
Snacks, Side Dishes, and Appetizers:
Honey Goat Cheese Strawberry Spinach Salad
With all the hot dogs, burgers, and margaritas I plan on consuming, I thought we could all use something fresh and healthy! Add in some blueberries and you’ve got yourself a Red, White, and Blue salad!
Sun Dried Roma Tomato Bruschetta
It’s red, it’s vegan, and it can be gluten free! It keeps with the Red, White, and Blue theme and is perfect for your friends with dietary restrictions!
Because I can’t have a burger without a hefty scoop of baked beans on the side!

Main Dishes:
For those who are trying to get ready for bikini season, I always like having a “lightened up” option!
If you’re looking for a low key day, make this super easy Crockpot BBQ Chicken!
Want to go really crazy? Make these homemade pretzel rolls and serve them with my chicken salad, BBQ chicken, or even a juicy burger!

I can’t have a party without making a batch of my mom’s famous extra fudge-y one bowl brownies!
